Japan's stock market erased roughly $200 billion in market value after the Nikkei dropped 2.3% from its intraday high.
The selloff spread broadly across sectors, with weakness extending beyond a handful of large-cap stocks.
👁 Why it matters

He added that the Fed remains ready to act if needed and will rely on incoming data rather than forecasts.

BlackRock's $BTC ETF just dumped $54.8M worth of Bitcoin.
This is worth watching because BlackRock (IBIT) has been one of the most consistent net buyers since launch. When the biggest institutional player suddenly flips to selling, it's either:
1. Rebalancing / profit-taking after the recent rally 2. Responding to client redemptions 3. A tactical shift in positioning ahead of macro uncertainty
Context matters here. If this is a one-off, it's noise. If it becomes a pattern over the next few days, it could signal a short-term top or at least a cooling-off period for institutional appetite.
Keep an eye on the next few trading sessions. ETF flows are one of the cleanest real-time demand signals we have for $BTC right now.
More than $1 trillion in market value was erased from the U.S. stock market in a single session.

🚨 TRUMP'S SHOCKING WORDS: "WE CAN STRIKE ALL THE BRIDGES WITHIN 1 HOUR❗" 😳
🇺🇸 TRUMP 🗣️ "Netanyahu wants me to bomb Pickaxe Mountain because he wants me to stay in the war. I don't have to do it. I don't need Bibi to tell me that. Bibi is saying it because he wants me to stay involved. If they don't make a deal, we can knock down all of their bridges in one hour. Then we can take out all of their electricity and power plants in a small part of an afternoon. But I'm thinking about the 91 million people." The remarks came just hours before Trump's White House meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed the CLARITY Act will receive a Senate vote before the August recess.
Thune said Russia sanctions remain the priority, but lawmakers will also move forward with #BTC crypto legislation, with Democratic support likely deciding the outcome.

The CLARITY Act could become one of the biggest regulatory milestones for the U.S. crypto industry.
Wallets created in 2010, each holding 50 #BTC , remained inactive for nearly a decade.
Since 2019, several of them have gradually moved funds in separate waves.

Some analysts at BTCparser speculate these wallets could belong to Satoshi Nakamoto's "second-tier" holdings—used instead of the well-known 2009 wallets to avoid attracting attention.
However, there is no evidence confirming this theory.
Meanwhile, the estimated 1.1 million BTC widely attributed to Satoshi have remained untouched for more than 15 years.

The movements are real. The owner remains a mystery.
